Definitions
- This application contains a microfiche appendix, containing two fiche and a total of 119 frames.
- the invention relates generally to a method for routing data packets through a packet communication network.
- Packet communications is a form of data communications whereby segments or packets of data are routed with error checking and confirmation of receipt directly or relayed via relay stations between a source node or station and a destination node or station.
- Several methods of data packet routing are known. According to one method, the address in the header of the packet is used as an index to a directory of packet routing lists. Packet routing lists must be prepared with knowledge about the location of each node in the network. Each node is identified by a header identifier. A packet routing list consists of an ordered list of packet node identifiers or call signs. Directory-based routing schemes require continued maintenance and communication of network interconnectivity information employed in the directory. Each of these functions drains network resources and can become intractable in a large network. However, one of the advantages of directory-based routing techniques is that it permits optimization of routing for a wide variety of network parameters, including data delay, throughput, reliability, priority and the like.
- nondirectory-based routing Another basic routing technique is the nondirectory-based routing technique.
- nondirectory-based routing the complexities associated with routing techniques are avoided. There is no connectivity information, which thus simplifies construction of each node.
- nondirectory-based routing techniques do not permit network parameter optimization.
- the Maxemchuk patents of Bell Laboratories teach the use of data packet systems over cable television networks and also teach the use of variable length packets for voice.
- the George et al. patent to IBM teaches the use of routing notes utilizing the topology of the network.
- the Sanders patent teaches the use of satellite communications whereby messages are routed via a local relay station.
- the Lea patent to Bell Labs teaches the use of a self-routing packet switching network. None of these patents suggest routing based on a node identifier which employs absolute geographic location indicia in the identifier for use in establishing routing.
- a noteworthy background reference related to radio-based packet communications is the published standard for AX.25 entitled “AX.25 Amateur Packet-Radio Link-Layer Protocol,” Version 2.0 (October 1984), Publication No. 56, American Radio Relay League, Inc., Newington, Conn.. This protocol is directed to the link layer or level 2 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) seven-layered reference model of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and is based on the CCITT X.25 level 2 LAPB protocol standard of Recommendation X.25 of the International Brass and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT).
- ISO International Organization for Standardization
- OSI Open Systems Interconnection
- the AX.25 protocol differs from the X.25 protocol in that the AX.25 protocol provides for repeater stations and repeater linking at the link layer, and specifically up to eight repeater stations under Version 2.0. Whereas the ability to address a destination via a prescribed repeater chain proved to be an advance for link layer protocols, the link remains susceptible to breakdown in linking if the chain is interrupted or changed. As will be explained hereinbelow, the present invention represents a substantial departure from an addressing protocol based on explicitly predefining a routing.
- Takagi and Kleinrock "Optimal Transmission Ranges for Randomly Distributed Packet Radio Terminals," IEEE Transactions on Communications, Com.-32, No. 3, March 1984, pp. 246-257.
- the Takagi et al. article and the subsequently-cited article describe academic research relating to the problems of packet radio networks.
- Takagi et al. refers to state-of-the art analysis of the slightly different packet radio network, the slotted/nonslotted single-frequency ALOHA network first published in the early 1970's.
- NET/ROM has been a very successful "Layer 3/4" implementation of a network, but it suffers the weakness of all large routing-table-driven packet networks: excessive system overhead related to dynamic adaptation of the network to changes. This documentation is provided to show the process of making routing decisions in a real-world implementation.
- Cartesian routing protocol of one form.
- the Cartesian routing protocol described therein associates a semi-unique ordered Cartesian location with each gateway (node) as part of a Cartesian address combining a location element and a gateway identifier. Position is represented by this location identifier and a metric distance is calculated between two such locations based on the location identifier.
- each node in a packet communication network is uniquely identified by absolute geographical coordinates or by a code indicating absolute location in an external coordinate-based reference system (node coordinates), and such absolute geographical coordinates or the equivalent are employed as part of a packet identifier for each packet generated for use in making routing decisions (packet coordinates).
- the node coordinates of a local node and its neighboring nodes and the packet coordinates are used by means at each node through which a packet is routed for determining a desired forwarding route of a data packet.
- the routing may be prioritized according to preselected criteria, preferably achieving optimum forward progress, that is, maximum forward progress using the least amount of power and taking into account characteristics of the system.
- the packet routing protocol requires no routing directory or table to perform data routing.
- Each node of the network collects or is otherwise provided with information about the quality of communication between itself and its neighboring nodes within its communication range.
- a data packet When a data packet has been received at a node, it is routed further through the network based on criteria derived from the history of communication between the local node and its neighbors. The criteria include distance, power requirements, retry history (reliability), throughput history, speed of transfer (net data rate), network delay, and data priority.
- LQ link quality
- the metric may be used in to establish a hierarchy among possible local destinations based on the maximum forward progress attainable using the minimum amount of power, herein termed optimum forward progress or OFP.
- OFP optimum forward progress
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a generalized data network topology
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart describing the basic steps of the invention for use with specific routing algorithms
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a general node according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a specific routine according to the present invention.
- each node in a network is identifiable by location.
- Each packet is thereby able to be directed to a destination based primarily on location information contained in a header at the proper level of its data packet.
- a packet is organized as follows: ##STR1## where: L indicates "layer";
- Layer 1 is the "physical layer,” which is responsible for transferring data in a packet in error-free form. If a packet is received which contains an indication of error, the packet is discarded and not acknowledged by the receiver. When sending data, the physical layer performs no error checking, it is not responsible for resending failed packets, and it is not responsible for any form of packet routing.
- a suitable Layer 1 is organized as follows: ##STR2## where Start Flag is a unique one-byte word signalling the start of a packet;
- DL is the Data Length in two bytes
- CRC is a two-byte long cyclic redundancy check word field calculated from the beginning of the data length field through the CRC field;
- End Flag is a unique one-byte word signalling termination of the packet.
- Nonflag pad characters which convey no information may precede or trail a packet for timing delay and synchronization without affecting the protocol.
- a complete header must contain at least the following information: the address of the ultimate destination in geographic coordinates and the address of the best next hop in geographic coordinates. Only the address of the best next hop is changed when a packet is forwarded. At least part of this information is contained in the Layer 2 header.
- the Layer 2 header or ISO link layer header comprises the destination address, the source address, a protype field (packet protocol and type) and a frame identification.
- a suitable Layer 2 header is organized as follows: ##STR3## where DA is Destination Address (5 bytes);
- PT is packet protocol or packet type (1 byte);
- FID is the frame identifier (FID) field.
- the destination address is the geographic coordinates of the next local destination and the source address is the geographic coordinates of the local node. Further in accordance with the invention, the destination address of a received packet becomes the source address of the same packet on its retransmission, and the destination address for retransmission is selected by the local node based on analysis of the metrics used to establish optimum forward progress.
- the field designated Destination Address is a five-byte address of the desired destination of the local specific packet at the current time in its current form, that is, the Layer 2 destination. It is not the ultimate destination of the packet.
- the field designated Source Address is a five-byte address of the layer 2 source node, the address to which an immediate acknowledgment of receipt is directed.
- the protype is an eight bit field further broken down into two parts: a four bit protocol designation field and a four bit packet type designation field.
- the frame identifier field is used to uniquely identify the data frame (DATA) and its related acknowledgment field (ACK) as well as its related acknowledgment of acknowledgment field (ACK-ACK). Packets containing ACK and ACK-ACK are short, since the full data information need not be employed. What is needed are the protype, frame identifier, destination address and source address.
- the wide area network (WAN) destination address and source address are also express in terms of geographic coordinates.
- the ultimate destination address is contained in a Layer 3 header, which is used for routing a packet between any source and any destination within a wide area net or between wide area nets.
- a suitable Layer 3 header is organized as follows: ##STR4## where: WANDA is the Wide Area Net Destination Address (5 bytes);
- WANSA Wide Area Net Source Address (5 bytes);
- PT is packet protocol or packet type (1 byte);
- WANFID is the frame identifier field (2 bytes)
- LUCK is 1 byte for indicating luck status.
- the Layer 3 header is examined to determine if the WANDA in the header corresponds to the WANDA of the node. If the WANDAs are not identical, the node routes the packet by forwarding it to a next hop in the network in accordance with the protocol supported by the node which is requested by the packet. Several routing protocols are contemplated.
- the "CROW” protocol is a protocol calling for forwarding in the most direct route, i.e., "as the crow flies.”
- the "WILDFIRE” protocol is a protocol calling for broadcasting the packet to virtually all addressable nodes from the local node, i.e., to spread a packet "like a wildfire.” In the wildfire protocol, where several identical packets may be circulating simultaneously, it is helpful to uniquely identify each packet via the WANFID so that a receiving node can identify whether the packet has been heard before and hence need not be forwarded.
- Other protocols may be defined as need arises or as technology develops for use in an installed system.
- the luck byte is analogous to a "time-to-live" field in other protocols. It is set by the originator and algorithmically decremented by each transferring repeater until it reaches zero and is "out of luck.” It is then treated in accordance with any predefined error handling mechanism.
- the luck concept prevents wayward packets from endlessly propagating around a network.
- the Layer 4 header for data packets contains information needed for delivery of a packet within a local area net (LAN).
- LAN local area net
- the device identifier that is, the LAN destination address.
- a suitable Layer 4 header is organized as follows: ##STR5## where: DA is Destination Address (5 bytes);
- PT is packet protocol or packet type (1 byte).
- the LAN Destination Address is the identifier of the exact device, e.g., meter, within the LAN.
- the LAN Source Address is the device identifier of the originating device. It is used by the destination device for formatting a response packet.
- the packet protocol is as above and may be optionally implemented as needed.
- Routing a response back to the source merely involves swapping the LAN Destination Address for the LAN Source Address, assuming the Layer 3 header has been properly rebuilt for the return.
- Each device in a network thus has a primary address, namely, the WAN Address, and a secondary address, namely, the LAN Address.
- the WAN address is the unique latitude and longitude designation of each repeater node, within one second (20 meters) of geographic accuracy. All devices within the LAN of the repeater node use the WAN Address of the repeater node as their WAN Address.
- routing tables i.e., a table which contains information on the best path to any destination in the network.
- the overhead for maintaining a routing table which increases as the square of the number of nodes, is thereby eliminated. Since direction is inherent in the addressing scheme according to the invention, routing tables are eliminated in favor of decision making at each repeater node on routing in accordance with the requested protocol embedded in the received packets.
- WAN addresses are all unique, and assignments of WAN addresses are so chosen.
- the LAN addresses provide the device names reachable at each WAN address, and they are also assumed and defined to be unique for each WAN address.
- the network 10 consists of repeater nodes labelled A through Z interconnected by paths 12 representing allowable communication links between nodes.
- paths 12 representing allowable communication links between nodes.
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating the basic routing method at each node.
- the data is first received (Step S1), and then it is determined whether the data is intended for this node (Step S2). If it is, the data is processed at the local node (Step S3). If the packet is not for this node, it is determined if the packet is for the LAN or the WAN subnet (S4). If for the LAN (i.e., the WAN address is the same as the node performing the routing), the packet is re-built (S5) and queued for transmission on the LAN (S6).
- the packet is re-built for a WAN routing (S7), enqueued (S8) and passed to the ⁇ scan for link ⁇ algorithm (S9 and FIG. 4)When the link is found that will accept the packet, the packet is sent (S10). Should the packet not be able to be routed in a forward manner an error process is initiated. For example, the local node may inform the source, namely the previous node in the path, to resend the packet via another node. Alternatively, the local node may return the received packet to the source node for rerouting using an entirely different routing protocol.
- a local table maintained by the local node is examined to determine the best next hop.
- the best next hop may be based on various criteria including distance, output power required to establish communication, retry history (reliability), throughput history, speed of transfer (net data rate), network delay, data priority, link utilization percentage, closeness to desired destination, closeness to desired bearing, randomness, closeness to local bearing, a link quality factor and the like.
- optimum forward progress is the primary criterion, that is, maximum forward progress attainable using the least amount of power and taking into account characteristics of the system. This is determined by calculating the metric between the destination coordinate and the neighbor node and selecting the optimum metric among all neighboring nodes of the subject node.
- the power requirement may be observed by simply noting whether a "sent" packet reaches the next node; if not, there was not enough power. The packet is then sent to the best node based on this power limitation, or the system automatically increases power so the packet will reach the best node.
- there is an initialization procedure which is executed to determine the latitude and longitude of neighbors within a destination quadrant, and the criteria are weighted in accordance with preselected protocol criteria. The criteria may be adjusted from time to time or automatically based on experience with the network.
- History of communication is an important factor in developing and maintaining a local table. For example, history of communication with a dead end node would provide an indication to the local node that such a dead end node is not useful for forwarding packets.
- Routing errors are identified by type and processed accordingly. There are for example three types of routing errors, Bad Destination, Can't Get There, Retried Out.
- Bad Destination errors are errors where the destination node is incorrectly specified. A packet containing a Bad Destination designator will have searched for the destination until it is discarded by the network.
- Can't Get There errors are similar to Bad Destination errors, except that a proper destination address has been specified. For example, if no provision is provided to get around a topological obstacle, such an error would be generated. The packet would require retransmission via a more robust protocol if delivery of the packet is to be achieved.
- Retry Out errors occur when the network is too busy to handle all packets. Undelivered packets require retransmission at a later time.
- the local node changes the packet header address by putting the address of the best next hop into an appropriate field of the header and then sending it to the interim destination or neighbor node.
- the process is repeated for each hop as the receiving neighbor node becomes the local node for the subject packet. The process continues until the packet finds its ultimate destination.
- the method according to the invention can be used with a variety of routing algorithms and protocols.
- a maximum forward progress (MFP) routing algorithm may be used.
- MFP maximum forward progress
- a node attempts to send data to its neighbor closest to the final destination.
- the transmitter power is selected to be whatever is required to establish the link. This technique has particular advantage where transit time is critical.
- a nearest forward progress (NFP) algorithm may be used.
- NFP nearest forward progress
- the local node utilizes the minimum power necessary to link with a neighbor and still make some forward progress.
- This technique has particular advantage in dense and complex networks where transit time is less critical. It has been found that overall network throughput improves in a very active network when the nearest forward progress technique is employed, as compared to conventional techniques which create large numbers of collisions due to large numbers of active packets in the same broadcast area. This represents a departure from conventional theory which preferred to cause data to be moved as far as possible with each hop on grounds that minimizes relays would avoid delay.
- a nearest forward progress algorithm uses a channel more efficiently in packet radio communications because transmitters can use lower power and are less likely to be heard by unaddressed stations and therefore are less likely to cause interference due to collisions.
- flooding sink Another useable algorithm is the flooding sink or "Wildfire" algorithm, mentioned hereinabove.
- the local node routes data to all neighbors (other than the source node).
- Some directional bias may be applied in order to limit the range within a destination quadrant or hemisphere to which data packets are sent.
- a packet is only rebroadcast when heard for the first time.
- the biased random routing algorithm is the simplest routing algorithm. It distributes data relatively quickly and preferably it is biased to deliver data to only one hemisphere so that data is sent to anyone in the correct general direction of the destination.
- the present invention can be viewed in the context of the seven-layer OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) architecture and protocols in connection with HDLC, the standard bit-transparent data link control for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections.
- OSI Open Systems Interconnection
- the invention is intentionally designed to be independent of any specific apparatus so long as it operates within the standard.
- FIG. 1 In an exemplary implementation as shown in FIG. 1
- a network could comprise a plurality of nodes 20, each consisting of a standard terminal node controller (TNC) (such as a TAPR TNC-2) implemented as an ordinary AX.25 digipeater node broadcasting through an ordinary VHF transceiver 24 (such as a Kenwood Model 7930) and using an optional personal computer 26 (such as an IBM PC-XT) as a terminal emulator and running appropriate software in the TNC 22 and/or the computer 26 according to the invention.
- TNC standard terminal node controller
- VHF transceiver 24 such as a Kenwood Model 7930
- personal computer 26 such as an IBM PC-XT
- the transceiver 24 typically includes means for measuring, directly or indirectly, the strength of a received signal, and imbedded in the structure of the packet according to the invention is sufficient information to identify location from which distances can be computed.
- the module L2SCAN.C contains routines that determine which "link” (W1) on which the packet would be “best” routed out (W2).
- the routine "ScanForLink(. . . )” is the central decision making module. It is passed the destination WAN address and selects from the set of links it has available (W3) the ones most likely to provide forward progress of the packet (as determined by the routine "ProbableProgress(. . . )". These are placed in a list by the routine "insert -- in -- poll -- list( . . . ).” This list is then tested for viability (W4) in decreasing order of desirability (W5), if the link responds (W6), the packet is sent. Should the best "link” fail, the system exists (W7).
- the module L2WAN.C contains routines that manage the WAN links. This includes determining if any of the packets queued for transmit require the ⁇ ScanForLink(. . . ) ⁇ routine to provide routing. Packets that do not require routing (i.e., whose WAN destination is directly reachable) are sent directly, all others are passed through to the ⁇ ScanForLink(. . . ) ⁇ routine, Most of the functionality of the routines in L2WAN.C consists of the implementation of the WAN link layer protocol and as such is not directly germane to this application.
- the module L2NODE.C is a utility module providing various support routines to manage the NODE data structure.
- the node table used for all routing decisions is constructed using the NODE structure. These routines keep current and valid all the data required to be able to predict the link quality before attempting transmission.
- Major data are the tries/retries ratio and the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI).
- RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator
- the module L2MAINT.C contains routines that perform the maintenance of the link. A great variety of information is passed between links: connectivity, age of the node (amount of time that the node has been operational), tine-of-day information, etc. This information has to be kept current.
- the L2MAINT,C routines rely on several timers to initiate the transmittal of maintenance packets.
- the present invention is presently undergoing field testing in select regions.
- the testing and use of the present invention is but a simulation of the present invention.
- a simulation of limited scope is being done because it is estimated that nearly 20,000 nodal positions would be needed to fully evaluate the principles disclosed herein, and such a full-scale test would be extremely difficult to evaluate without significant commercial overtones.
- beta testing is nearly completed and FCC certification very likely, if not actually issued, before the date of this filing.
